The Blair Academy - Expert Impact

Charlie Blair,

The Blair Academy

Met with Meg Lustman

The Blair Academy enriches lives through Hip Hop Dance classes and events. We envisage a world where Hip Hop brings Health, Happiness and Well-being to the lives of many so that we:
combat loneliness, strengthen communities and bridge social and generational gaps.

Now, The Blair Academy works with a multitude of Care Homes, Day Centres, Hostels and schools. So far, we have helped over 2000 people access Hip Hop Dance.

We affirm the four principles of Hip Hop; Peace, Love, Unity and Having Fun.

Meg’s expertise in business strategy was instrumental, even in just an hour, in helping me to forward plan the growth of my business. I feel more confident now about navigating my way through the ‘new normal’ thanks to Meg’s advice.
